Conan held the coin and completely believed what Shiraishi said before. This house did have secrets.
Back in the living room, with the help of the cat and the fox, Conan discovered that many utensils, such as plates, vases, candlesticks, etc., were engraved with a long series of small black and white patterns.
The orientation of the graphics varies, and occasionally there are missing edges and corners. At first glance, it looks like a string of rough printed lace.
Conan glanced at it twice and immediately remembered the "little dancing man" that Black Cat once said before getting off the car.
——This is a plot that appears in the Sherlock Holmes series. Certain patterns that look like random graffiti are actually passwords with special meanings!
After searching the living room, they found a total of seven items with this "code".
Conan took out the notepad and ballpoint pen he carried with him from his pocket and drew all the graphics that had appeared.
The very act of reasoning made Conan feel very happy, and explaining the reasoning to the ignorant people and watching them suddenly realize the process made Conan even more happy.
It's a pity that there is no suitable audience here, and Conan never imagined that one day he would be reduced to telling his reasoning process to a cat and a fox:
"There are a total of seven basic shapes, and on top of that, many variations are added, making a total of different shapes... So this should not refer to English letters, but Japanese phonograms."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to continue, but suddenly he saw the cat and fox next to him nodded in sync as if they agreed with it.
Conan was startled.
Cats and canines can communicate simply with humans, but it is impossible to master human language. They can only respond to some specific instructions after training - this is what is written in popular science magazines.
So what’s going on with the two creatures in front of you!
Could it be that they have been specially trained to nod to show their approval after others have finished speaking?
Such a crazy thing... It really fits the style of "Black Cat".
Conan thought that it was miserable enough for him to be caught for no reason and work for free, but he never expected that even animals under Black Cat would be forced to obey.
In order to verify this guess, Conan tentatively said something that was obviously wrong: "But I am more inclined to believe that the pattern is just an anti-counterfeiting mark printed on the bottom of the object by the manufacturer."
He stared at the two ordinary-looking animals in front of him, but this time, no one nodded.
The fox looked at him with a shocked expression for a moment, then suddenly sighed in a very humane manner.
Then it stretched out its paws, pulled Conan's notebook behind itself, and moved the pen over, holding it skillfully with its mouth, turned its back to Conan, and read the words on the paper with the black cat, a pair of Don't play with the posture of being a scumbag.
"..." Conan's eyes twitched twice. This unscientific!
When you get back, you should write to the popular science column editorial department and ask them to re-examine whether animals can understand human speech. It is best to publish reliable experimental data together!
…
No matter how the world view is impacted, the mysteries that need to be solved still need to be solved.
Gu </spangt> Conan shamelessly asked for the pen back and began to guess the kana represented by each symbol one by one based on the known information found in the living room and Japanese writing habits.
After a while, a complete password list was listed on the notebook, and the passwords on various objects were also deciphered.
The words at the bottom of the plate are "Please look at the vase", and below the vase are "Please look at the candlestick"... After searching around, Conan finally picked up a French dictionary and it said "Please look at the fireplace".
Conan climbed into the fireplace, turned on the flashlight on his watch, and finally found a string of code patterns in the corner. He immediately compared them and interpreted them, but what he found out was:
"...please look at the plate."
Back to the starting point again, a group of items were connected in a circle with no final direction at all.
Conan felt as if he had been slapped with cold water, his expression calmed down, and he glanced at the fox subconsciously: "Wrong solution?"
The fox didn't know what the problem was, so he tilted his head and looked at him innocently, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.
"..." The pen in Conan's hand squeaked, and his temples jumped twice.
Shiraishi looked away from the fireplace and looked back at the living room.
He remembered that there was no mistake in deciphering the code, and he also remembered that this seemed not to be a sorting question, but a connecting question.
You can find the mechanism by connecting several items in order.
Shiraishi looked at the pile of objects printed with code words, but he couldn't remember their original placement accurately.
But the living room is only so big in total, and a few things are placed in a haphazard manner. As long as you remember the key word "connection", the rest is very simple - the intersection point will probably be in the center of the room.
He raised his head and looked at the chandelier at the top of the living room. After visually checking the positions of the tables and chairs, he ran higher and higher, jumped into the air, and hooked his claws on the lamp.
The moment he hugged the branch of the chandelier, Shiraishi keenly felt that the lamp seemed to be pulled down a little by it.
At the same time, Shiraishi's enhanced hearing in this form allowed him to vaguely hear the sound of the machine rotating, but the movement was very inconspicuous.
...the cat is too light to trigger the switch?
Just as he was about to instruct the fox to turn Conan's gaze away, he changed into his human form and flipped the switch, but at this moment, Conan also discovered that the cat was missing. When he looked up, he saw it hanging on the lamp and was startled.
His first reaction was that the black cat had climbed to a high place again and could not get down.
But soon, recalling what happened at the diplomat's house, Conan felt that it was not that simple - how could this ghostly cat climb up the lamp for no reason.
Even a fox can understand the password, so there is no reason why the black cat from which the code name "Black Cat" comes, is just an ordinary cat.
Is there something wrong with the light?
Conan thought for a moment, pushed a table over, moved a chair and placed it on it, climbed up and took a closer look.
Soon, he discovered an inconspicuous groove at the base of the lamp.
The presence of grooves often means that they can be pulled up and down... No wonder the cat suddenly wants to hang itself on the lamp!
Conan stood up on tiptoes, grabbed the chandelier, and pulled it down hard.
He weighed much more than the cat. After he was pulled ten centimeters in, there was a loud thud, as if something heavy fell from upstairs.
The ceiling shook twice, and Conan looked up in shock, assessing the situation.
Before he could guess what was happening, the black cat stepped on him and jumped all the way to the ground, then trotted towards the second floor.
Conan quickly followed.
